Route & Infrastructure
From the first tee at Prestwick Golf Club, looking at the famous Railway Hole with its fairway bordered by a stone wall, you immediately understand that the experience will be unique. We can almost imagine Willie Park en route to his victory in 1860, the young Tom Morris winning the championship belt after his third consecutive victory in 1870, or Harry Vardon winning his record sixth title in 1914.
